"People with learning disabilities have a right to lead normal, fulfilling lives. That’s why I supported the Brandon Trust whose underlying ethos is all about enabling just this. Brandon Trust is a great charity that makes a real difference to people and I’ll continue to raise money to help them when I can. My challenge was to complete the Bristol Triathlon: 16 lengths of a pool, a 25k cycle ride and a 5k run. It was a very rewarding experience and lots of people supported me."

"I wanted to raise money for a sensory garden for people with learning disabilities in Gloucestershire. One day my Dad asked me if I would join him in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Altitude sickness hit and on the fifth day at 16,000 feet sadly we had to abort the climb just a day and a half from reaching the summit. It was a wonderful but challenging experience. We raised £1500 and it is something I will never forget!"

"Riding the 56 hilly miles from London to Brighton was a real challenge. I took part because my friend works for Brandon Trust and she had told me all about the amazing work they do there. The people they support are a real inspiration and I knew that all the sweat and pain would be worth it in the end. I joined a team of 17 people from Brandon for the bike ride and between us we raised over £6,000. I really enjoyed being a part of "Team Brandon" and am looking forward to our next challenge together!"
